5 song Friday! This week we bring you another modern classic, Austin TX's The Sword ! This is the only band we've ever heard of being described as "Retro-Metal" and we think that's got a nice ring to it! Their songs are epic, so armor up, lace up your chain-mail, and sharpen your blades. Here's 5 songs to slay dragons by.
1. How Heavy This Axe
2. Freya
3. Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians
4. Maiden, Mother, Crone
5. The Veil of Isis
